Fusion Ignition Research Experiment
Understanding the properties of high gain (alpha-dominated) fusion plasmas in an advanced toroidal configuration is the largest remaining open issue that must be addressed to provide the scientific foundation for an attractive magnetic fusion reactor. The critical parts of this science can be obtained in a compact high field tokamak which is also likely to provide the fastest and least expensiv...
متن کاملAvalanche Boron Fusion by Laser Picosecond Block Ignition with Magnetic Trapping for Clean and Economic Reactor
Measured highly elevated gains of proton-boron (HB11) fusion [1] confirmed the exceptional avalanche reaction process [2][3] for combination the non-thermal block ignition using ultrahigh intensity laser pulses of picoseconds duration. The ultrahigh acceleration above 10 20 cm/s 2 for plasma blocks was theoretically and numerically predicted since 1978 [4] and in measured [5] exact agreement [6...
متن کاملFusion Rate and Superburst Ignition
Observationally inferred superburst ignition depths are shallower than models predict. We address this discrepancy by reexamining the superburst trigger mechanism. We first explore the hypothesis of Kuulkers et al. that exothermic electron captures trigger superbursts. We find that all electron capture reactions are thermally stable in accreting neutron star oceans and thus are not a viable tri...
متن کاملScaled-down nuclease P1 for scaled-up DNA digestion.
Motivated by an interest in detecting DNA adducts in their nucleotide form by mass spectrometry (1), we sought efficient, low-cost conditions for enzymatic digestion of a relatively large amount of DNA (≥ 1 mg). Of the enzymes available for such digestion, nuclease P1, which forms deoxynucleoside-5′-monophosphates, seemed to be a good initial choice because it is widely used for digesting DNA, ...
متن کاملStudies of Ignition Behavior of Biomass Particles in a Down-Fire Reactor for Improving Co-firing Performance
To realize large-percentage biomass co-firing with coal in existing coal-fired boilers, the combustion behavior of biomass is expected to be similar or comparable to that of coal. When co-firing with coal, biomass is not necessarily to be ground as fine as the dedicated coal particles, because of its higher reactivity. With the objective of achieving promising performance of co-firing with dedi...
